Went to the local city fireworks show with the family tonight. About 10 minutes into a 25 minute show the biggest nightmare for pyros happened.....the entire body and finale of the show went up in about 10 seconds. Show over. I personally thought it was the coolest thing, but I feel bad for those poor guys setting up in 102 degree weather only to end in such a major oops. The show was fired electronically and at first I thought it was going good til the sky puke, but after thinking about it I believe they had problems way before that. All the cakes they had set up in front of the guns, usually go off in like 5 minute increments along with higher shells in the background. They normally have like 5 or so of those cake segments dispersed throughout the show, but this time all the cakes went in succession from the very beginning and led to the puke 10 minutes later. So now im thinking they had problems from the get go. They had to apologize that the show was over so soon and promised another show sometime in the coming weeks as a makeup. They actually skipped 5 songs in the body of the show and the finale song which left the crowd in the dark listening to what was supposed to be a pyromusical, but without the pyro. I have to say it was the most intense 10 seconds of any show I have ever seen, so for me it was not a disappointment.
